Why aren't I writing my book!?
‘Why aren’t I writing my book?!’
This is a cry of anguish that I hear from a few clients so I figured maybe it’s something you can relate to...
You get all fired up, start strong, make great progress…. and then… well, life gets in the way and before you know it, it’s been weeks and then months and the book outline is gathering dust.
That’s exactly what’s happened with my client Lauren, who is writing a book on nutrition and how to have a more mindful relationship with food. We had a coaching call recently to dig into what exactly was going on and why she’d stalled with her book.
Because here’s the thing - your brain is going to come up with some VERY convincing reasons why you’ve suddenly got 101 more important things to do with your book.
But then what happens….
Well, the book doesn’t get done and you end up beating yourself up about it.
My friend, I’m here to tell you, you can’t hate yourself through to a finished first draft.
So tune into this episode of The AUTHORity Show and listen to this live coaching session. If you’ve ever felt like you were at the mercy of everything you’ve got going on in your life, then this one is definitely for you!
